Iraq's Azm Coalition shuts offices amid financial crisis, internal disputes

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's Azm Coalition has vacated several of its offices as it struggles with a financial crisis and internal disputes, political circles and local sources said, years after the movement built its public profile through political slogans. Offices that once hosted meetings and public addresses are now reportedly unable to cover rent and operating costs. The coalition's effectiveness on the ground has become a point of debate, with critics arguing that the office closures reflect a decline in its political and public support. Some observers have described the situation as a temporary phase that requires a restructuring of the coalition's offices. Whether the Azm Coalition can regain its former footing remains unclear. No further details were immediately available about the coalition's financial position or the number of offices affected.
